Democrats’ Contempt for the Will of the Voters
Their attacks on Trump are expressions of their animosity toward the electorate.

The most important passage in George Orwell’s iconic and prescient novel 1984 is O’Brien’s chilling explanation to protagonist Winston Smith concerning the Party’s motives: “We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.†It is no exaggeration to say this has become the raison d’être of the Democratic Party. Consequently, it’s imperative to remember that the electorate itself is the true target of Democratic attacks on President Trump. This is why its current presidential nominee calls his supporters “Chumps.†It is why the failed 2016 Democratic nominee recently described them as “cowards and spineless enablers.â€
The Democratic Party and the ruling class it represents have nothing but contempt for the electorate, and their attempts to get rid of Trump are about nothing more than disfranchising the “chumps†who voted for him.
Trump is the voice of a nationwide voter rebellion against the ruling class, and the Democrats know the revolt can’t be crushed until he is silenced. They want the proles to return to our roles as obedient servants of Beltway bureaucrats and politicians. This is what they mean by “returning to normalcy.†But they know this will never happen as long as Trump is in a position to implement policies and appoint officials favored by the despised voters. Even as this is being written, the Democrats are decrying the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, despite broad public approval of her record. As Majority Leader Mitch McConnell phrased it on the floor of the Senate:
It is supremely ironic that our Democratic colleagues delivered through a temper tantrum what they should have delivered through a fair appraisal: a unanimous endorsement. All last week, the legal brilliance and judicial temperament that our nation deserves in a Supreme Court justice were on display.… I anticipate we will have a new Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. That is what the American people want.… Clear majorities of Americans want Judge Barrett confirmed.more
